itaps-parallel IGeomP, iRelP?

[Mark Shephard]

The CAD models are typically small enough that we have not worried about 
distributing them also. If we need to consider distributing the model 
there are a number of possible approaches with the one that I would push 
being a function of what applications were being supported. For example 
I would tend to use different methods for distributing the model in each 
of the three cases of doing modeling operations, supporting mesh 
generation from the model and supporting mesh adaptation/analysis.

If we think its critical, it is something I can discuss.
